Aromaself de Pranarôm : le nécessaire pour vos préparations maison aux huiles essentielles

Aromaself: Do-It-Yourself Aromatherapy

Making your own blends allows you to tailor each formula to your needs while maintaining control over its composition. But you still need the right equipment: well-tolerated neutral bases, high-quality containers, and precise measuring tools. This is exactly what the Aromaself line offers, in keeping with the pharmaceutical standards that define Pranarôm.

Neutral bases for your blends

Free of fragrance and active ingredients, these bases serve as a carrier for your essential oils and vegetable oils:

• Neutral massage oil — an organic vegetable-based carrier to be enriched with a few drops of essential oils to create your own massage oil.
• Neutral Cleansing Gels (250 & 500 ml) — a gentle, fragrance-free cleansing base that you can customize into shower gel, shampoo, or liquid soap.
• Aloe vera gel — a neutral, lightweight moisturizing gel, to be used on its own or as a base for your skincare formulations.

Empty bottles and containers

To create, measure, and take your blends with you:

• Empty 30 ml dropper bottle — made of amber glass (which protects against UV rays), with a precision dropper for accurate dosing.
• Empty 10 ml dropper bottle and empty 60 ml pump bottle — to store your blends away from light.
• Empty 10 ml metal roller ball — to make your own roll-ons for topical application.
• Empty inhaler stick — a cotton wick to soak in your blend, for a portable format to inhale.
• Neutral tablets — a neutral carrier designed to hold drops of essential oil for oral use, as advised by a healthcare professional.

Practical Accessories

• Dispersant — made from apricot pits, it helps evenly disperse essential oils in water (aromatic bath, lotion), since essential oils do not mix with water on their own.
• Infusible bracelet (Aromawatch) —a ceramic disc holds your essential oil drops without direct contact with the skin; wear it or attach it to a bag, stroller, or tent.

Making Safe and Effective Preparations

Essential oils are powerful active ingredients: a few rules must be followed. Always dilute them in a carrier (vegetable oil, neutral carrier) before applying to the skin, and never pour them directly into water without a dispersant. Follow the specific dosages and precautions for each essential oil—several are not recommended during pregnancy, for young children, or for people with epilepsy. Use perfectly clean bottles to prevent cross-contamination, store your preparations in amber glass, away from heat and light, and be sure to label and date them.

Advice from the Pharmacist

Aromaself provides you with the tools; it’s up to you to create your blends, but never blindly. Before creating a blend, research each essential oil (properties, dilution, contraindications) and strictly follow the proportions. Neutral carriers are for external use only. For any preparation intended for a child, a pregnant woman, or for oral use, ask me for advice: I’ll help you choose the oils, carrier, and dosage best suited to your situation.
